Additionally, items can be stored in a player’s inventory so that they can access it at a later date. For example, all players can look at and interact with the same object. In-game Screenshotsįortunately, to assist with these difficult puzzles, the developers over at Pine Studio have implemented some helpful features. However, they are not too challenging that you’ll be banging your head against a wall. The puzzles are challenging enough that when you finally solve them you’ll be filled with an unparalleled sense of glee and accomplishment. However, there are usually enough clues and emerging patterns that eventually players will land upon the solution. I often find myself stumped at even the easiest of puzzles, and was unsurprisingly not much assistance to my sister.

It is fair to say that I am not terribly puzzle-inclined. Fortunately, the puzzles in Escape Simulator are extremely challenging but in the most positive way possible. Of course, there’s always something you’ve missed. “The puzzles in Escape Simulator are challenging enough that when you finally solve them you’ll be filled with an unparalleled sense of glee and accomplishment.” It creates a sense of intensely fun chaos as you fling top hats and porcelain cups through a broken window because you feel you’ve searched every nook and cranny and come up empty-handed.

While the lack of variety in environment types may seem like a negative, each environment’s five levels manage to capitalise on their fantastical settings to create distinctly unique experiences each and every time. There is an old-timey mansion, Egyptian ruins and a spacey one.

However, now that I’ve both played Escape Simulator and subsequently been to a real escape room I can confidently say that not only is it a genuinely phenomenal game, but it is far superior to the real thing. And while that particularly horrifying film franchise doesn’t come to mind when playing Escape Simulator, the whole ordeal was somewhat offputting to me. There is something about being confined to a small space and being forced to solve a series of increasingly complex puzzles in order to escape that feels positively Saw-esque.
